A slow film and shot in a manner which makes the UK look very drab and dismal. If you can tolerate the pace and misery it is worth watching to the end! Not one for thrill seekers, more suited to a quiet, reflective night in!

The Railway Man
Colin Firth, Nicole Kidman and Stellan Skarsgard star in The Railway Man on DVD, a war drama adapted from Eric Lomax's memoirs about his experiences in a POW camp.
While serving in the Second World War, British Army officer Eric Lomax (Jeremy Irvine) is captured and held prisoner by the Japanese. He is brutally tortured and forced, along with his fellow captives, to build the Thai-Burma Railway. Many years later an older Lomax (Firth) is still traumatised by the experience. Supported by his wife Patti (Kidman) and friend Finlay (Skarsgard), he decides to track down one of his torturers, Takashi Nagase (Hiroyuki Sanada), hoping to find the answers that will enable him to finally let go of the hatred he has held for so long.
